Resist the pre-planned enons ofthe JNU admlnlstradon to once again sabotage 27% OBC reservauonl The reJected recommendations of the casteist Mukherjee comminee must not be revenedl Let us fight aunited battle against the brahmlnical forces to uphold social iostice! .
In a complete pre-planned sabotage of the implementation of 27% OBC reservation, the casteist JNU administration is once again out to scuttle social justice. In JNU in the last two years OBC reservations were grossly violated due to the elitist and casteist recommendations of Aditya Mukherjee Committee. First OBC reservation was made mandatory on 54% seat increase and 'lack of adequate infrastructure' remained the recurring (il)logic of the administration to delay full implementation of OBC reservation. Next, the casteist and opportunist misinterpretation of cut-off was brought. Over-ruling the MHRD guidelines and supreme Court verdict, the eligibility cut-off has been surreptitiously replaced by a 'merit cut-off, i.e. instead of deducting ten points from the eligibility marks, ten points are deducted from the marks scored by the last general candidate. This has stopped the ad~ission of stipulated number of OBC candidates in various centers despite they being fully eligible for admission. The vacant OBC seats have been thereafter was allowed to lapse, and were conveniently converted to 'general category' (read upper caste) seats. In the last two years the intake of OBC students grossly suffered due to this casteist agenda of the JNU administration. .
This year after extensive mobilization of students and support from the progressive section of the faculty, Aditya Mukherjee Recommendations were severely challenged in the Academic. Council meeting and the AC finally rejected the recommendations. The matter was referred to the Dean's Committee and after several deliberations the Committee studying models of other universities, on 17 June came up with a viable model for implementation of 27% OBC reservation. For the first time since OBC reservations were implemented in JNU, a cut-off was pre-fixed to 36, after deducting 10% marks from the eligibility cut-off, i.e. 40. Given hundreds of OBC students were illegitimately deni~d admission in the past two years, this cut-off was much more viable and socially just. · .
But the casteist JNU administration was in no way ready to accept an admission model which will ensure social justice and break the existing brahminical hegemony in knowledge production. Keeping up their feudal and shrewd means to scuttle social justice the JNU administration used the pretext of a 'legal notice' sent by none other than the casteist brigade of Y4E to revert the decisions taken in both AC and by the Dean's Committee. The rejected casteist model based on Aditya Mukherjee Committee Recommendations is once again brought back by the administration. The JNU administration also shrewdly chose the time of this decision. Right in the eleventh hour before the final results of BA and MA courses are about to be announced the administration hastily took the volt-face. Ironically, some of the Deans who otherwise are self-proclaimed custodians of 'progressive politics' vociferously argued in favour of the casteist machinations of the administration! The administration has only received a rubbish legal notice which is in no way binding upon them and it is definrtely not a stay order on admissions from the High Court. Yet it is evoking the bogey of 'legal problems' with the model which the Dean's Committee had come up with. .
It is however, the administration who has been upholding illegal means to sabotage reservation and social justice for the past two years. The Aditya Mukherjee Recommendations are in complete contravention with the Supreme Court Verdict and MHRO guideline. Although it was not challenged in the court, it was opposed tooth and nail by the student community and by the progressive section of the faculty in the last two years. The casteist administration should understand that any criterion that bars perfectly legible OBC students from taking admissions is flouting the Verdict on reservation and are thereby illegal. Such criteria can not be justified on any ground, be it the age-old Brahminical (il)logic of meritocracy, infrastructurallacuna or baseless 'legal threats' from the casteist brigades. .
It is time we strengthen and broad base this struggle for reservation in higher education and social justice at large. This recent and most brazen instance of the entrenched casteism in the administration once again proyes the reactionary character of the implementing authorities in this country when it comes to the issue of social justice. We must not remain in any illusion about the fact that this is a lengthy and pitched battle, and that our movement for reservation must go on despite any such reverses that come in the way. The students and teachers of DU are also fighting a prolonged legal battle against the casteist and corrupt administration of their university against the same illegal 'merit cut-off criterion. The OU administrations have also made vitriolic casteist statements to the press completely defying the Supreme Court verdict. The Delhi High Court is sitting on their case for long delaying social justice. The UPA government has also made it clear that it will make attempts to delay the deadline for the implementation of OBC reservation. Inside the campus too, the battle for reservation against this feudal administration must continue unabated. It is time that all the different battles for social justice come together to fight a more enhanced struggle against the entrenched brahminical forces which will try all their means to .
scuttle 27% OBC reservation in higher education. .
This challenge once again has come in a time when there is no functional JNUSU. That is why the pro-reservation forces must come together in solid unity to once again fight this feudal and brahminical administration. The JNU administration is not only casteist but is also flouting all democratic decision making processes through which the University has always functioned. We appeal to all progressive and democratic forces in the campus to come together at this hour of crisis to prevent one more denial of social justice by th·e entrenched casteist forces. .

Herzog & de Meuron
(July - October 2023)
Look behind the scenes of Herzog & de Meuron and immerse yourself in one of the most revered architecture practices in the world.
For over 40 years, the Swiss practice has challenged our ideas of what architecture can be. They’ve reimagined the nature of buildings, from houses to hospitals. And they’ve designed projects that have transformed cities, such as Tate Modern, Laban Dance Centre, Elbphilharmonie and M+.
This exhibition, featuring 400 objects from the Herzog & de Meuron design process, is a chance to find out how their projects come together. Explore their open archive shelves, sit on their latest furniture design, walk around life-sized architectural mock-ups, and use augmented reality to experience a new children’s hospital in Zurich.
Visitors will be among the first to feel the space and atmosphere of their newest designs and to see Beka & Lemoine's latest documentary film about their ground-breaking REHAB project.
Curated in close collaboration with the architects, this is a rare opportunity to see the inner workings of one of the most admired architecture practices in the world..
